NBC Announces Kings Debut; Medium's Return

Heroes Volume 4 debut date; ER's series finale and more.

By Eric Goldman

On the heels of announcing their January schedule, NBC have now revealed their plans for February and into the spring. This includes the debut of their new series Kings with a two-hour episode on March 19th, and the return of Medium - As many expected, that Patricia Arquette series will now air on Mondays, after Chuck and Heroes, beginning February 2nd. That night will also see the beginning of the next volume of Heroes, "Fugitives" and a special 3D episode of Chuck

Not announced so far are the dates for two more midseason series - The Philanthropist and the new comedy from Greg Daniels (The Office), which is currently being called The Untitled Amy Poehler Project until the final title is released.

A two part miniseries, XIII, starring Val Kilmer and Stephen Dorff, airs on NBC Sunday February 8th and 15th at 9-11pm.

Speaking of Val Kilmer, NBC have announced the season finale of Knight Rider (where he Kilmer voices KITT) will be airing on February 25th – it remains to be seen what will take its place on Wednesday nights, though The Philanthropist seems a likely candidate. Knight Rider was given a full season order only to see its ratings continually plummet – and the fact that NBC is now ending its season so early doesn't seem to bode well for the show's future.
